Objectives and overview  

The Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development is an international, multi-stakeholder initiative to improve the availability and quality of ICT data and indicators, particularly in developing countries. Launched in 2004, the Partnership helps measure the information society by:

  • Defining a core list of ICT indicators and methodologies to collect these indicators;
     

  • Helping developing countries collect ICT statistics, particularly through capacity-building and hands-on training for national statistical offices;
     

  • Collecting and disseminating information society statistics in a number of formats, including a global report and database.

The Role of ITU  

ITU is an active member of the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development and together with UNCTAD and ECLAC, one of the three members of its Steering Committee.

From the core list of indicators identified by the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development, ITU is responsible for collecting the infrastructure and access indicators (A1-A12) as well as indicators on access to and use of ICTs by households and individuals (HH1-HH13).

To improve data availability and comparability, ITU works closely with its member states, particularly the Ministries in charge of telecommunication, regulatory agencies, and national statistical offices. ITU provides technical assistance to enhance the capacity of national statistical offices.
